"There is a petulant, jingoistic, easy patriotism that demands violence be met with more violence. Then there is another sort of ‘patriotism’ that asks more of a person; the patriotism of community spirit. It motivates people to reach out to their fellow citizens; to ensure the streets are safe and tensions are calmed; it holds one’s tongue before making knee jerk comments defaming entire communities for the actions of individuals. Community spirit begs us to ask the question ‘How can I help?’"
